Question A. What was the attitude toward the elderly?

I was raised by my grandparents, primarily my grandmother most of my whole life, and I believe she did a very good job. I was also very lucky to meet my great grandma and have her early on in my life. So I've always been around the elderly and have been mindful and respectful with them. I've also become a very patient person, it's important to have patience with communicating with others especially the elderly. I also believe being around the elderly so much has made me a more greatful person for the people in my life.

            Question D. What religion or worldview was practiced?

At an early age I attended church with my grandparents but as I got older we stopped going, there was no reason for it at all it just happened. I would say I'm still religous to this day just not heavily or strongly I guess. The earliest I remember being introduced to religion was when I was a toddler my grandparents gave me picture books of stories from the bible for kids to understand , I thought the stories were so fascinating and interesting. Although I'm not super religious I'm glad they introduced it to me because it gives me memories to look back on and cherish.

1. What was the attitude toward the elderly?  In my family, it was expected to admire the elderly. I’m not sure we the honored elderly, per say, as much as they do in some other cultures but we certainly respected them. I believe this is a  conscious learning in some families where praise of your elderly is highly disciplined, however in my family I feel that it was more of an  unconsciously learned behavior as we learned to respect everyone especially those we loved, cared for, and cared for us.

2. Who had the most power/influence? Who made the major decisions?  In my family, It seemed to be more of a collective position of who made the major decisions and had the most power, or it was situationally dependent. My mother was a stay at home mom of 4 and my father is the one who went to work every day. Perhaps, our home would be perceived as a more  masculine culture?

3. Was competition or cooperation stressed? How?  Cooperation was most stressed, I was always taught us to abide by the rules and be respectful of the rules and of those around us. My parents did their best to  teach right from wrong – and to be uncooperative was certainly not commended. That being said, we all played competitive sports and were exposed to that but were taught to stick to the structure of the sport.

4. What religion or worldview was practiced?  I grew up in a Catholic household. My family was not traditionally Catholic and it was not a  cultural identity for us, but my sister and I did go to catechism classes weekly, completed our holy communion, and my family attended church on some holidays and Sundays. While my mother is very spiritual, my father is not, and they gave us a childhood that exposed us to each side and allowed us to follow our own path.
